Today you are You...

My first love was pretty much the coolest guy ever...in life. He was very smart, a doctor in fact. His game was so smooth. His words still linger with me. He had me at "One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish". Poetic right? If you havent figured out who I am talking about go get yo life. Anywho Dr. Seuss was a brilliant man. His quotes make me feel hopeful about life. Have you heard "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" or "Why fit in when you were born to stand out"? Did you know that those are his words? Well they are. Here are some more of his words that you may enjoy...

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cell. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living."

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go..." (Oh, the Places You'll Go! was a graduation present to me...every graduation. Its so applicable to life at this moment.)

"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You."

"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, Nothing is going to get better. It's not."

"Fantasy is necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope."

"I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!"

"Today is your day! YOur mountain is waiting. So...get on your way."

"Think! You can think any think that you wish."

"It is better to know how to learn than to know."

"Today I shall behave as if this is the day I will be remembered."

"Step with care and great tact. And remember that life's a great balancing act."

"You're on your own. And you know what you know. And you are the one who'll decide where to go."
